Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

Statistics: Button, Button
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

Swinging Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
Learners build a pendulum from a yo-yo, and then design their own experiment to determine what affects the pendulum's period of swing.

Strengthen a Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Show Me the Money
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners make wallets or purses and then participate in a variety of money-related activities. First, learners make their own paper money and paper wallets or purses.
